First, let me just say that I had completely forgotten how epically horrible Mrs. Rosso's morning sickness is in the end of the book (whoops, spoiler). And she went through that nine previous times? Lucky for her it all went away after she found out it was only pregnancy. Barbecues for everybody! *eyeroll*

Anyway, Ana requested that the NEXT book have no romance, no heroes, nothing scary, and no kissing. I thought about it, promised her two out of the four, and opened up Harry Potter, which I'd just found on my floor.

It has been years since I've re-read the original Harry Potter. Or any of them, for that matter! So even though I know how it all turns out (capslock ahoy!) I'm able to get into this book as though it's all new to me. It's all so light compared to the end of the series! (You can decide whether I mean it's light in tone or in actual, physical weight.) Evangeline, hilariously, saw nothing amiss in keeping one boy in a closet while the other has two bedrooms. Oh well. Every time we go to swimming the two of them take turns locking themselves in the lockers. I've gotten Ana with that - locked her in, went to the door, and pretended to leave! This didn't deter her, though, and I may have to use stronger methods to keep her from doing this in the future. *sigh*
